A Nevada Grass that Grows without Water.
Everybody has been noticing for the
past month q new grass, which has
but recently made its appearance in
this state, says the Carson Appeal. It
appears to be spreading every where.
and grows luxuriantly without water.
Mr.. Woods, the aboriculturist, who
is good authority on such matters.
says that 1t lie genuine blue joint, and
that its appearance in Nevada is Of
more importance to this state than the
discovery Of another Comstock. 1t 10
grass whose large heavy seeds are
closely allied to grain, while Its chem
ical constituents are of the most nutri.
tious character. The stalk grows
three or four feet high, and instead OF
being hollow, like wheat or rye, the
stock is almost solid. The roots pene.
trate deeply into the ground. and will
find moisture to live on where other
grasses will wither. II is most sym
metrical and beautiful grass to the
eye, with . compact head and nc
superfluous boards. Its fattening
qualities are unsurpassed, and horses
and cattle eat every portion oft.
Mr.. Woods says that he has noticed
wherever II has gained q foothold II
drives out the thickest grass. The
Appeal is not quite sure that thii
claim of its good qualities can be sub
stantiated, and i. will probably take
another season to fully decide thil
question.
The grass 10 . rapid seeder, AND
there is no reason why the sage brusf
land will not in few years be turnet
into vast fields Of this grass. There Il
hardly an acre of land in the countr,
where 1t can not now be found, ant
two years ago there was not spear IL
sight here.
Mr.. Woods also says that he haI
been experimenting with the wilt
pea, and finds that grows here with
cut irrigation, and that II the seed ID
sown right in among the sagebrush ]
will Chamber owe the brush In massel
and afford fiue feed for stock.
This is indeed the lazy mans fodde
plant. There are q good many mel
In Nevada who. when urged to cleal
sagebrush land, say 1t Is hard and ez
pensive, but insist that ifthey but ha
the land cleared they could do wei

pLAGUES TO FARMERS,
Southern Illinois Farms Ravagcd by In

sects. X; 9l. 8' y
CHAMPAIGN, Ills, June 2O.-In his re-
port to the trus:eos OF the University OF
Illinois, Prof. Foroes, Director OF the
State Laboratory OF Natural History, states
that Southern Illinois is peculiarly unfor.
tunste this season in being overrun BY
injurious insects. ai sd 1-sL5
In certain localities the Hessian tly has
done great damage to the wheat crop.
while in Others the first planting of corn
vas almost wholly taken by cus-worms.
lr fsctrin some places, the laet named
insects did not by any means eonfine their
attack to corn, but ate garden vegetables,
oats and grass with equal relish. Some
fields Of oats were as completely cleaned
out as II q moving machine had been run
over them close to the ground. 5a
However, hopeful indication for the
luture is to be found in the fact that an
epidemic OF disease appeared among the
worms and carried them of by thousands.
This disease ia caused by bacteria. The
same disease has recently been found de-
e.soying great numbefs OF army worng in
jackson county. The subject ia being
elaborately studied and experiments made
to see whether thess bacteria can not be
propsgated and uaed for destroying the
great farm pests generally. .&s r.
In many portions OF Southern Illinois
there has .been much complaint among
farmers because Of dying meadows, and
one Of the chief causes Of this has recently
been found to be the pseacnce OF an insect
never heretofore reported 40 injurious in
America though allied spsciea arc often
irishtiully destructive in England. The
inject iH the young orlarva OF the common
large mosquito. like cyano.hies, which
eats of the grass root, Just below the sur

ut work through large portion OF tho
area inleatod last year and experiments
have begun to teat the influence OF yari.
ora fertilizers in supporting the farm
crops against their attack. g5-D g
There has also been throughout a large
portion OF the State, north as well as south,
an extraordinary outbreak Of tho corn
root web worm, an inaect which ha1 only
been known to entomologis;s few years,
hut which has increased with such rapid
ity that thousands OF acres OF corn have
been destroyed pyit this season. Field
aud laboratory experiments have lately
BEEN made which indicate that its rava
ges may be successfully checked by. the
application Of atssnical poisons.

CHICAGO, June 20.-From the number

that the suit instituted by William Fl.
Haskell, an extensive local painter,
against Walking Delegate Ling, Of the

Bouianser and the French Army. RI, {

PARIS, June ao.-rhe Figaro contains
an interesting article on the french army,
written by a prominent officer stationed
in Alelers, though this fact is known to
but lew, the writer prudently adopting a
nom de plume. The ground taken is tEst
apart from any special foreign policy
France should keep her army up and
make it at least as efficient as that Of anv
other power; and the writer argues that
Boulsnger, having shown genius for or.
ganizatlon, it is suicidal for France to os
traciee him and reject the Proyidonca
which has given to The nation one really
great military man. The writer ia likely
to get into trouble on account of his BELT.
Ting all the army big,wigs in order to
eeuloglzs Boulauger, but nobody csn be
found who will deny the force o! his srcu.
ment. The report that Boulaneer is to be
given an important army command is still
current, but has not yet been confirmed
BY any definite action on the part OF the
Government. Boulsnger may not accent
the offer. He certainly will mot, il he
thinks it will hinder his return TO the
Ministry Of War, which return must re.
suit from the present tendency OF things.

New Yonk, June 20.-The Suns London
correspondent sends the following gosaip
about Mr.. B!sins's stay in London: s
James G. Blaine Is living here at the
Hotel Metropolc, and he was much gszpd
upohs and discussed in the corridors yes.
terday. The most common remarks were
that lie looked exactly like his pictures:
that he had q very strange eye; that ho
looked like big man, and that lie was re-.
markably pais. Mr.. Blaine is certainly
looking very unwell, the result, perhaps,
Of his long journey. Hp looked deathly
pale, and he appeared very weak. He
insured me that bis health waa good. On
his arrival Mr.. Blaine was greeted BY Son.
ator Hale and one or two ether friends.
An admirer Of his informed the hotel
keeper that very big man was coming.
aud that he ought to have up an American
asg. The gentleman volunteered to lend
him large one, and tho principal porter
was ordered 10 hoist Ii on top OF the ho.
tel. The porter either did not understand
our flag very we'll, or chose to shine aB a
wag, 80 he spread out the stripes with tho
stars down. An American guest INQUIRED
what wan wrong Just in time 10 save Mr..
Blaine isom being greeted with signal OF
diutrees. "a'.s 'NDl'0O
Another American Gag awaited Mr..
Blaine's arrival. II flew proudly right
Side up out Of the third.story Of the Hotel
Victoria, held in genuine Barbara Fritchie
style by the fair hands OF Miss Moaa,t,
the daughter OF David II. MoGatt, whom
everybody knows In Denver. Miss AIof-
istt explained to Eagliah friends by say
ing Mr. Blaine was a great pet OF hers.
A. curious and comical fact is that
Mr.. Blaine, being known in England
almost exclusively by his expreeaionp OF
sympathy for the Irish cause, Is look.
cd upon by an ultra.ignorant but not very
numerous class as representative OF the
dynamite form OF American sympathy, A
chattering group OF English ladies in the
night that 1t was q dreadful thing to have
such a man under the same root with one,
but that after all 1t was a guarantee that
the dynamiters would spare tho
hotel If they should conclude to
celebratel the Jubilee with any ex.
ploslons. The rooms which Mr.. Blaine
occupies with his wife aud two daughters
will enable him to yet e fsin. view Of tho
Jubileo procession II he cranes his neck
industriously ou. Of the window. He
will not, however, be reduced to such ex.
tremities, for should our Minister not ex.
ert his aristocratic influence TO get MIR.
Blaine q seat in the Abbey, any number Of
Invitations are open to him from Ameri-
cana who are more happily situated. One
OF the most fortunate OF these is H. l.,

walked all the way up Broadway in a
Blaine procession, and 10 now resting in a
dozen oi firsl.floor front rooms OF the
hotel in which Mr.. Blsine is. 5Fss037
